A driver who told police he had been drinking alcohol and taking drugs all day on Wednesday crashed into a car that night in Gretna, injuring two adults and four children, according to authorities. Jerry Warren, 32, was booked with DWI-second arrest and six counts of first-degree vehicular negligent injuring after investigators determined his blood alcohol content registered .317 percent, arrest reports said. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.

The crash occurred in the 900 block of Gretna Boulevard. Warren was speeding eastbound on the street when he crashed into the rear of the victims' vehicle, the arrest report said.

Two woman and four children were in the vehicle. The unidentified driver suffered a head injury. The front passenger had injuries to her chest and side. A pair of 2-year-olds who were in car seats complained of leg and back pain, the arrest report said.

A 4-year-old girl suffered minor head and back injuries. Gretna Police noted she had bruises on her face from the impact of the crash, the report said. A 5-year-old girl had neck, back and leg pain, the report said. Both the 4-year-old and 5-year-old were wearing seat belts.

All the victims were taken to Ochsner Medical Center. Their conditions were not available Friday.

Investigating officers noted immediately that Warren smelled of alcohol at the accident scene, an arrest report said. He was taken to West Jefferson Hospital in Marrero for treatment. Warren was too intoxicated to take a field sobriety test. But a urinalysis revealed his blood alcohol content to be .317 percent, the arrest report said.

Officers later searched Warren's vehicle and found an empty bottle of gin shoved down next to the driver's seat. During questioning, Warren told officers that he had been drinking gin all day and also took drugs, the arrest report said. Warren wouldn't say what type of drugs he consumed.

In addition to the DWI and negligent injuring charges, Warren, of 2664 Ramsey Drive, New Orleans, was booked with driving without a license, improper control of a vehicle, driving without a seat belt and having an open container of alcohol. No bond information was available.
